Bring in your plastic bags and get a reusable bag for free at one of four upcoming America Recycles Day events this month!
The La Porte County Solid Waste District has teamed up with Al’s Supermarkets to promote all forms of recycling available in our county through these in-store events. Not only will you be able to swap those pesky plastic bags – a major source of litter in our communities – for a bag you can reuse time and time again, but by visiting our table you can learn what you can recycle every day at Al’s stores in Michigan City and La Porte, snag giveaways, play a game and more!
All events will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Join the Solid Waste District at the specified location on the following dates:
- Tuesday, Nov. 5 – Al’s East, 702 E. Lincolnway, La Porte
- Thursday, Nov. 7 – Al’s Karwick, 1002 N. Karwick Road, Michigan City
